The hyperrealism in the groundbreaking 1940's police detective game L.A. Noire extends to the 95 era appropriate production and concept cars that populate the gritty game environment. Here are over 60 of the real vehicles from the game.

In my brief time with the game a couple of days ago, I didn't drive this Delage D8-120 S. I did drive a different Delage though, and Rockstar's designers have done a great job of making the European cars feel way lighter and quicker than their heavy American counterparts. These things practically float around lumbering US steel.

Though this Buick Century looks cool, you should take note of the detail in the scenery here. The stuff that goes by your car windows in the game looks great, and is never the same twice. Rockstar's gone one step further than they did with "New York" in Grand Theft Auto: IV and made old school L.A. look even cooler.

Now we're talkin'. I found this Cisitalia 202 Coupe during my 20 minutes at the PS3 sticks, and man was it fun. It feels like it weighs about half of what the bigger American cars do, and scoots between them on Los Angeles's wide avenues with ease. And it looks like sex.

The Cord 810 too is a hell of a lot of fun. You can pick it up near the L.A. River, and feel like The Fast & The Furious' grampa diving flat out up and down the banked concrete walls. Also, apparently, sooner or later, it gets blown up. I know you'd be sad, but it's just a bunch of ones and zeroes.

How many video games can brag about including a Frazer Manhattan? How many people playing will even realize that they're driving a Frazer Manhattan? I'll bet the answer to both questions is a very small number.

And now, because you've stuck with us for this long, the first part of our two-part grand finale. Check out the metalwork on this Talbot Lago T26. That flange along the side and on the door is intense.
